Accusations by my boss regarding my behavior when I am not

Customer Question

Accusations by my boss regarding my behavior when I am not working. A women in a mans world wrongfully accused In an attempt to gain or keep market share. My boss accused me, by saying that I invited these allegations because of my outgoing personality and made reference to my social off hours drinking with my clients as a probable cause. I disgusted by these alligations.

Thank you for trusting your question to JA today. I am a licensed attorney with over a decade of law practice and over 20 years of experience in the legal field. I’m happy to be of assistance.

When you have accusations against you that are based on gender discrimination there really is only one thing that you can do. You must file a complaint with the EEOC in your state, alleging gender discrimination, so that a neutral third party government agency can come in and investigate the matter fully.

In this way, you obtain immediate protections against retaliation and you preserve your right to sue in federal court. An EEOC complaint in a prerequisite to suit, so it is a process you would have to accomplish anyway.

No honest attorney can tell you, on the limited facts you've given here, whether you have a valid complaint. Many dishonest ones though, expecting a retainer fee, would absolutely say you have a case.

What I can say is that you have the basic framework of a claim. If accusations have been made against you and your gender appears to be at the center of those allegations (similar complaints wouldn't be made about a male), then you have the prima facie facts to support a claim. Only after the EEOC investigation though would you really know. This is why most attorneys won't take a case until you've completed the EEOC process.

Hello, I wanted to check in and make sure that there was not any additional information that you required after the response I previously provided to you. If you need further assistance, please use REPLY and ask me for any additional information you may need. If not, take care and have a great day.
